Hear what other makers are saying
"SOLIDWORKS is my go-to for software when designing and creating, but as a maker, the price tag has notoriously been way out of my price range. I’ve been begging SOLIDWORKS to make a version that is more affordable. And I am so excited to be telling you that, as a maker, SOLIDWORKS has answered our prayers!"
–Brad Thompson, Impact Props
"I am astonished that 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is being offered, along with xDesign and xShape, for about the same price as a streaming service! This makes me so excited because I can’t wait for people to take advantage of this offer and start following along with all the fun."
–Rob Maldonado, VirtualFlat CAD
